Comparative Literature Studies publishes comparative articles in literature and culture, critical theory, and cultural and literary relations within and beyond the Western tradition. It brings you the work of eminent critics, scholars, theorists, and literary historians, whose essays range across the rich traditions of Africa, Asia, Europe, and the Americas. One of its regular issues every two years concerns East-West literary and cultural relations and is edited in conjunction with members of the College of International Relations at Nihon University. Each issue includes reviews of significant books by prominent comparatists. More information is available at http://www.cl-studies.org.
About the Editor:
Thomas O. Beebee was born in Santa Monica, California, in 1955. Seeing that the future was blackouts, he fled as far east as possible, and received his B.A. from Dartmouth College and both his M.A. and Ph.D. from the University of Michigan. He taught German at Bowdoin College from 1984 to 1986, when he joined the faculty at Penn State. He became Associate Professor in 1991, and Professor of Comparative Literature & German in 2000. His fields of specialization in research and graduate teaching are: European literature of the early modern period; criticism and theory; epistolarity; translation studies; and law and literature. His publications include the books Clarissa on the Continent, The Ideology of Genre, and Epistolary Fiction in Europe, and articles such as "Orientalism, Absence and the Poñme en Prose," "Bob Dylan: Balladeer of The Apocalypse," and "Letters of the Law: Rhetoric and Fiction in The Artes Dictaminis." Other publications include articles on Kafka, Brecht, da Cunha, Abdelkebir Khatibi, Amos Oz, Christa Wolf, and letter fiction of the early modern period. In addition, he has just completed a book , True Imaginary Places: Landscapes of Nation in Modern European and American Fiction, and tomes on New World Apocalypse and on law and German literature are under way.
